In the cas of polymer modified bitumen which isn't stable is there anyway we can fabricate a cylindrical or rectangular one for DMA test for example ?

17 November 2017 1 3K Report

We are looking to get some rigid specimen rectangular for some bitumen test, but in our case our PMB specimen isn't stable so is there anyway we can get that without the risk of seperation between the polymer and the bitumen ?!!

Serge V. Shil’ko

If the specimen isn't stable (quasi-liquid state of material), you may try to test such materials using rheometers.
